Storyline

In 2026, a new machine called the Augma is developed to compete against the NerveGear and its successor, the Amusphere. A next-gen wearable device, the Augma doesn't have a full-dive function like its predecessors. Instead, it uses Augmented Reality (AR) to get players into the game. It is safe, user-friendly and lets users play while they are conscious, making it an instant hit on the market. The most popular game on the system is "Ordinal Scale" (aka: OS), an ARMMORPG developed exclusively for the Augma. Asuna and the gang have already been playing OS for a while, and soon Kirito decides to join them. However, they're about to find out that Ordinal Scale isn't all fun and games.

Short Review

Easily my favorite SAO content besides the Aincrad Arc in the anime. The animation is stellar, primarily due to the motion-picture budget, and the story is amazing when it comes to all categories. As a huge fan of SAO, I gotta say this is probably one of my favorite films in anime.
